I think if at any point in your day you were able to look and find beauty, then it was a successful day. I often look toward the trees for inspiration — scabs and scars upon their backs and bellies; symbols of growth, time doing its telling. I ponder just how far their roots must stretch into the dirt, providing firm footing for me to tread upon, casting a woven blanket upon the earth. And yet they reach — branches like arms, twigs for fingers — they beckon to the sun, mercilessly pleading to be closer. Intertwining and connecting without even touching, each limb of the same tree which came from a single seed planted there in the ground; buried to be forgotten, yet look what came to be!
